Ezekiel1:28

Ver. 28. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud] Here (as in the ſalt ſea, or as in a pot of hony) the deeper the ſweeter. The Rainbow was ſet for a ſign of the Covenant of mercy to mankind, Gen. 9.12. Iſa. 54.12. See Rev. 10.1. with the Note.

This was the appearance, &c.] For no more of God can be ſeen by any mortal wight, Exod. 33.20. This and other Prophets ſaw the Charret, but not the Rider in in it, as the Rabbines ſay.Quaſi faſees ſuos ſubmittens.

I fell upon my face] As aſtoniſhed, and as adoring the Divine Majeſty.

And I heard a voice] This, the Vulgar Latin prefixeth before the next Chapter.
